Die Flöte von Pierre Naust von ca. 1700 ist aus Palisanderholz mit einem Nickelschlüssel. Das Originalinstrument befindet sich im Musikinstrumentenmuseum in Berlin. Diese dreiteilige Flöte ist insofern einzigartig, als sie vollständig aus Cocobolo besteht, was zu einem leichteren und charmanteren Klang im Vergleich zu anderen Flöten mit schweren Elfenbeinbeschlägen führt. Ebenholz, Granadilla und Buchsbaum sind alternative Materialien für dieses Modell.

Beautiful professional early Baroque/ 17 century/ tenor flute traverso 405 Hz (It can also play wonderfully at 400 when you take out the head joint a bit ) copy after- Pierre Naust, Paris, ca.1700, Rosewood .This flute is compensated scale, fine sweet noble sound and perfect intonation
This flute is made in modern temperament and for special order can be made in another too like: Meantone, etc and another pitch like 415 and 440 Hz too.This flute is dedicated to professional musicians playing the Renaissance and Early Baroque music.
Agronomical finger wholes:
Since this beautiful baroque flute is at 405 hz some players feels the need to stretch the fingers uncomfortable. therefore in this particular flute I made an agronomical finger wholes for it to be more convenience and natural to the player especially players with shorter fingers.
The original of this flute is in the Music Instrument Museum in Berlin.
Unlike other instruments of this three-part construction (Hotteterre, Rippert, etc.) this flute is completely made of Rosewood, without heavy ivory fittings. As a consequence the sound is more cheerful, a little lighter and very charming.
Normally this flute is built with a middle-joint lengthened to a=392 Hz. It is also available in the original pitch of a=400 Hz.
At pitch A=405 9.15 x 9.6 embouchure
Rosewood
The player has to "lip" precise notes from a baroque flute to a far greater extent than with a modern concert instrument.
